Angel Edith has come!

Finished!  Finally... Approx. 30 cm height, approx. 30 working hours. I guess half of the time was spent unravelling and crocheting once more.

Lessons learned:
- First get the shape for stiffening the item. Only then start crocheting it. You'll have lots of problems finding out how and where to starch the item otherwise... Guess how do I know this? :)
- You don't need to soak the item in water. Let the stiffening agent do its job alone.
- You'll waste lots of thread when making hair. I mean -- LOTS.

Did I like it? Will I make another one? I think -- no. The progress was too slow, especially the final part -- shaping, sewing everything, curling hair...  3 cm of a bobbin lace per week means much more quicker progress for me. Sounds strange, but true.

Materials:
- cotton thread size 30 ("Maxi")
- crochet hook no. 1
